Early Penalties Work Against Steelers In Loss To Cincinnati

There wasn’t a bevy of offense in the first 30 minutes of Sunday’s Week 3 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. Up until the final 64 seconds of the first half, there was only one touchdown, prior to back-to-back scores from either team in the final minute to take things into the locker room with a 14-7 Bengal lead.

That early deficit (Pittsburgh trailed a good portion of the first half 7-0) put the Steelers in a comeback mode they spent much of the rest of the game in, though not just because of good plays by Cincinnati.
